HE SAID what we're all thinking: your car isn't so special it needs to take up the entire carpark.

Coles managing director Ian McLeod has called out one of his "selfish" and "inconsiderate" employees for parking their car over three whole spaces.

In an irate group email message to staff at the supermarket's Tooranga Store Support Centre, Mr McLeod made it clear the driver was going down (down, down*).

"Could the selfish, inconsiderate team member and owner of a silver Holden Commodore... who believes they are so important they warrant being able to park their car across THREE SMALL parking spaces, please move it to the brickworks immediately," Mr McLeod wrote.

He demanded the employee 'fess up.

It sounds like staff were on their boss's side, too. Supermarket spokeswoman Julia Balderstone said there was an "overwhelmingly positive" response to the email blast.

"With limited space we encourage team members to park with respect for others and when we see this clearly being abused we call it out."
